Sad sad development

The previous version of Niggle was elegant, clear, challenging, and very well designed. The latest version is juvenile, difficult to read, confusing, and inconsistent in its performance. The silly faces add nothing and are impossible to shut up. Shadows over the cards we are trying to read? Really? What were you thinking? This is a really good app gone very bad.
Awful!

If you're an adult, you'll want to avoid this app completely, and delete it immediately if you already have it. Sounds you can't turn off, a cluttered display that adds nothing and a ridiculous new scoreboard ruin what was one of my top two games. I won't be keeping this one.
Hate new version.

I really loved the old version of this game. The new user interface is childish and slow. Please Give back the old interface. I can hardly stand to play it.
They've Ruined It!

As others have said, this was a great game gone bad. My only complaints from the previous version was that you don't have the option to bid "even" on the lowest three hands (1,2,3, and 3,2,1). And that you can't play to 13 (no trump on 13). Now that seems minor compared to this childish interface. The faces and voices are a distraction, but the shadow over the cards makes this game nearly unplayable for my old eyes. Went from 4.5 stars to a generous 2. Please give us the option to play with the old interface. Please and thank you.
Update fixed faces and mute...

Now it crashes mid-game. Please fix. This is (was) the best oh hell game.
December update is Coal for Xmas

I was totally addicted to the previous version. It was simple classic and fast paced. The new version's interface is clunky and tries to be too cute. It's distracting and jerky as it plays cards and the layout is so much worse than the previous one. So disappointed I did the "upgrade". On the plus side. I can get all that time back by not playing this. It's all too annoying. I really loved the previous version.
Sorry

I am sorry but I have to agree with the other reviews. I am sure that you put a lot of hard work into the new version but it is very buggy. Is there any chance for Christmas you could give us back the old version? Either way thanks for your efforts on making it a better game.
Almost as good as the old version again

Review of 3.2: This used be one of the best card game apps in the store. Then came 3.0 and it became one of the worst. Those foibles are chronicled below and in other reviews. Fortunately, the creators are listening to this feedback and the two updates have addressed many of the concerns. This latest update improves the visibility of the scores and the cards. This bumps my ranking from one star (3.0) and two stars (3.1) up to four stars! My one big holdout for five stars is the ability to make the hands straight instead of curved. Perhaps this can be an option in the settings. Another small complaint is that with the score board in the corner, there is no longer a reminder of what round is being played during the hand. Perhaps if the controls were moved to a row at the bottom there could be room for this. (Putting controls at the bottom of the screen is a good idea anyway considering the screen sizes of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus). Finally, it would be nice to have a button to access the settings from the score screen. Overall, this latest update does the trick and I can once again recommend buying this game. Thanks for making it good again. Review of 3.1: This update addresses some of the concerns that were raised about 3.0. There is a way to get rid of the childish faces. Turning off the sound really turns off the sound. It is still difficult to see the cards and scores. It was much better when the hands were straight rather than curved. It would also be better if the scores were against a better background contrast. My rating is going up from 1 star to 2. Bringing back the old interface would rate 5 stars. Review of 3.0: First I was surprised. When I opened the app, nothing looked familiar. It looked like a child's game. Then I was confused. All the controls had been moved around. Then I was embarrassed. My phone was muted. So was the sound button on the app. But childish voices still screamed when I started a game. Finally I was frustrated. From the curved hand to the scores being low contrast and all over the screen, the game was largely unplayable. The new version belongs in the same pile as Windows 8 and the New Coke (remember that?). Please bring the old version back. Or at least make "classic view" an option. And make the "sound off" button actually turn off the sound. It was a great app.
